You know what always happens when the status quo everyone is depending on to get money changes? People freak out and they overreact. Everyone loves it when they can keep doing the same thing and make money and they hate it when it looks like that is going to change. You what what always happens a bit later? They adjust to the new normal and make money slightly differently and then get used to that and don't want that to change.

The sky is not falling. Let's keep moving towards what will benefit everyone and not get distracted by the totally predictable reactionary market signals.



> Let's keep moving towards what will benefit everyone

And what is that?


You can't think of anything?


People are debating different solutions, with different problems being advanced that need solving. You make it sound like you have a solution and that it is straight forward.

So, what is it? OR perhaps you are actually saying that things are (largely) working well, so there's no major course adjustment necessary.


Oh, I'm not saying anything except that we should a disregard a temporarily panicking market if there is a course of action that is going to be largely beneficial. The article is implying that a plan for affordable housing was working and then the market reacted negatively. The impression given was that this would be a devastating blow to this plan, and my comment was just 'let them freak out, they will get over it'.
